Bookmark Making

If you love reading books, you would also hate to have "dog ears" all over your book, places that mark where you last finished reading.

Instead, you could make your own bookmarks and have fun both making the bookmark and reading the book!

A typical bookmark should be about 2 inches wide and 6-7 inches long. Cut a piece of the above measurements. Use really thick paper like card paper so that it does not bend or get spoilt easily.

Draw your favourite cartoon characters or flowers or just some abstract art, as you wish your bookmark to look. Make a small incision about 1/2" from the top of the bookmark and insert a satin ribbon if you want it to look more fancy, or even a string of beads etc.

This way, you will soon have your own exotic handmade bookmark collection! They don't make just great collectibles, you could even gift them to your friends who read a lot. Happy reading!
